NO, obviously not. But, they like music. They like games. If they have to pay for both music and games, and they have X amount of dollars to spend, then they have to divide that money between the two. If they don't have to pay for one of them, then they are free to spend the money on the other.
As is usually the case, people like you just wave their hands and say you have to innovate and that people who can't make money in this new scheme are dinosaurs. But, of course, if you had such ideas when no one else did, you could be the rich one. Given that you aren't, then probably you don't have any better ideas than anyone else.
As to treating customers, that's a joke. The record labels put their product out there with zero protections, and they got screwed. You are deluding yourself if you think that any of this has to do with not treating their customers fairly.
